Here are some advice tips and ideas for painting small spaces and using dramatic color from experts:
Take the opposite wall from the source of light — whether it be a door or a window — and mirror the entire thing in three vertical sections. The middle section should constitute 50% of the wall, and the two side panels should be 25% each. It's an elegant look, and it always doubles the room visually. In truly tiny spaces, like my guest bathroom, I mirrored every square inch where there should have been paint, except the ceiling." —ANN DUPUY, NEW ORLEANS, LA
"Instead of painting walls bright white to make the space feel larger, take the counterintuitive approach — go deep, dark, and mysterious. A teal blue silk wall covering or an entire wall of leather floor tiles gives you a striking look without taking up any floor space." —FRANK ROOP, BOSTON
Saturate the space in one medium or dark color, such as moss, warm dark gray, or chocolate brown. Use it on every door, every ceiling, the trim, the window frames and the door frames, as if you're dipping the whole room in a bucket of paint. It takes away all the boundaries and you're left with the infinity of the universe. It's like Houdini came in and decorated." —BARRY DIXON, WARRENTON, VA
I love to find good bargains and I love to be able to decorate my home with what I find. I'm not usually one to just buy something unless I have a place for it. I spent many of my earlier years buying stuff because I liked it, then spent many of my later years trying to find a place to store it before eventually giving it away.
My living room wall, which leads to my hallway and bedrooms, needed some life. It is a large wall so finding the right mix of decor was important. I found two plug in wall lights with a leaf pattern shade, on line through "Collections ETC." They were a steal at $17.99 each, and caught a free shipping sale on top of the great price. The lighting is subtle, warm and inviting. I added a mirror, flower arrangement, small electric fireplace, two chairs and I had the wall and living room complete.
You don't have to spend a fortune to have a luxurious style, you just need to shop around. I purchased my chairs and fireplace from "Overstock.com" for $149.00 each and the fireplace was $199.00 and of course I waited for the free shipping offer before I made the purchase. The mirror was found at a yard sale for $5.00 and the floral arrangement was a gift. Most important is finding the type or style decor you are looking for. Once you know that, shopping is easy.
